BEUMER to extend parcel sorting system at UK Mail’s Coventry hub

BEUMER Group has been awarded the contract to extend the fully automated parcel sorting system in UK Mail’s national UK hub near Coventry. The extension is scheduled to be completed by end of 2017.

The hub’s existing BEUMER Group automated sortation system was installed in 2014 and enabled UK Mail to quadruple the capacity of its previous system by handling 24,000 parcels an hour. The new extension will allow UK Mail – which was bought by the Deutsche Post DHL Group in December –  to further increase the hub’s handling capacity to 29,000 parcels an hour.

“The easy integration of additional sections was an essential part of the design for the original system,” said Stephan Heessels, Director for BEUMER Group’s Logistic Systems division. “This ensures that the system will continue to be an essential part of UK Mail’s strategy for years to come.”
